 1.  prepare, execute in the undersigned's name and on the undersigned's
     behalf, and submit to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the
     "SEC") a Form ID, including amendments thereto, and any other documents
     necessary or appropriate to obtain codes, passwords, and passphrases
     enabling the undersigned to make electronic filings with the SEC of reports
     required by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any rule or regulation
     of the SEC;

 2.  execute for and on behalf of the undersigned, in the undersigned's
     capacity as director and/or officer of 89bio, Inc. (the "Company"), Forms

     of 1934 and the rules thereunder;

 3.  do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned
     which may be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any such Form

 4.  take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the
     foregoing which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit
     to, in the best interest of, or legally required by, the undersigned, it
     being understood that the documents executed by such attorney-in-fact on
     behalf of the undersigned pursuant to this Power of Attorney shall be in

       The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact full power
and authority to do and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever
